In your web server, you will need to set up an `external' FastCGI
server.  When you do that, you will set up the hostname and port
combination.  See the FastCGIExternalServer config directive if you
are using Apache.

When you start your application, you will need to tell it the port
(and maybe IP) to listen on.  If your application is Perl and uses
CGI::Fast, you can set the environment variable FCGI_SOCKET_PATH to
something like :3000 or hostname:3000.
